ULS log files are created but are empty

Problem: I have created a SharePoint 2013 farm with a custom location for my log files e.g. d:\logs. On the 1st SP2013 VM that created the SP farm using AutoSPInstaller, the logs are present and logging correctly. On the other/remaining SP VM's, the logs are created every 30 min however, the lof files are empty.

Initial Hypothesis: I had no idea and after looking at google the answer is permissions on the local file system. Justin Kobel's post gives the fix.
